Customers are saying

Customers recognize the SRS-XB33 speaker's exceptional sound quality, particularly its impressive bass and long battery life. Many appreciate its ease of use, portability, and the inclusion of fun light features, along with its waterproof design. However, some users found the maximum volume insufficient and missed the presence of an auxiliary input. A few also noted that the speaker could be improved in terms of weight and the accompanying app.

    This speaker is awesome. Its been dropped in water, down the stairs. It doesnt rattle after all the drops. Easy to connect. Great sound, gets loud enough to hear over power tools in the shop

    Perfect size and perfect sound ! This small/medium speaker is just the right size to take with you for any situation. I have used it on the back patio, to bringing it camping. The sound it puts out is just right, and it is completely customizable. The lights are a fun effect that really add some flavor to the music. Love the waterproofing of this unit and battery life. Sony got this right for the price!

    good speaker; sounds is more on the bass-side, but tweaking your player controls helps; very powerful though daisy-chaining 3 or more can be tedious; still very good speaker

    I bought several JBL and they keep going out so I wanted to buy something different. This speaker is in the top 5 best portable speakers it was number 2. So I wanted to give it a try. It has a nice clear sound with not a ton of bass that drowns out the music. It also lights up and changes colors on trim. Hopefully this will last longer than the JBL...but as for now I love and it works great!

    Operating and set up info with the product was lame at best. Thankfully, I have a friend who owns one of these and she convinced me to purchase it. She also knew the tricks on how to set it up. The sound quality is excellent. Battery life is surprisingly long. Not wild about the flashing lights. I was able to shut that feature off once. Somehow I got them back on and have not been able to shut them off.

    Great product, great sound quality but if you are thinking of it taking overseas or for travel need a separate carrying case cause it’s a lil heavier then normal. You can grab srsx23 or flip 5 for cheaper and carry them around easy but this things sound is so good love it when I used it at home.

    This speaker works well and came at a very affordable price of $99. Sound is good, works from at least 50 feet or so, and battery is sufficient for my needs. Only challenge I have had so far is trying to pair it with a second (different) Sony speaker. I would recommend this product.
